Quote:Brian_Ross,
I do condemn this violence committed by persons who claim to be Christians.
Thanks, Yada. So, why do you devote so little time to condemning Christian extremist violence?
I can't see any posts beyond this one from you condemning it. There are other Christian extremists.
So, how do you feel about what Joseph Kony has been up to in Central Africa in the name of the Christian God?
How about what the assassination of Swami Lakshmanananda Saraswati in India apparently by Christians?
Or the terrorism of Anders Behring Breivik, a Christian, in Norway?
Or Orthodox Christian movements in Romania, such as the Iron Guard and Lăncieri?
Or The Army of God or Robert Rudolph in the USA?
Or the Christian inspired terrorism of the PIRA and the Ulster Unionists?
Nary a peep.
What about the various Jewish groups?
Nary a peep.
Care to explain why you've been so silent?
Ignorance?
Well, you really can't claim that now, can you?
So, I expect to see many, many posts from you on all these extremist groups, that is unless you're bigoted?
Brian_Ross,
AGAIN.... Quote:
When Christians kill others, they are going against their religion;
Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Matthew 19:17
.....if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said,
Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Romans 12:18
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

But when moslems fights against disbelievers and kill them, they, are being good moslems
And obeying Allah, in having enmity towards all persons who reject ISLAM.
Why isn't that correct ?;
"O ye who believe!
Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him)."
Koran 9.123
"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise):
they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain:...."
Koran 9.111
"
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission,
and feel themselves subdued. "
Koran 9.29
Brian_Ross,
Re persons who do wrong, who claim to be Christians [or Jews].
I do not impose, or enforce my religion, upon those persons.
And i do condemn their violent wrong doing.
....just as i condemn the violent wrong doing of persons who claim to be moslems.
"....all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
Matthew 19:16
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22:36
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
